    3 days of Overwatch 2 - Game is fun as hell - Terrible launch but it happens - Every role has actual impact - Mercy is the worst character in the game but I genuinely don't know how to fix her - People were babysat by shields - Netcode for packet loss is worse - Ranked reset W

  • Deko_Kyu Deko Kyu【デコ・キュ】🔞🐱💖 EN/JP Femboy VTuber (@Deko_Kyu) reported

    While I know Blizzard is doing their best to fix the known issues in Overwatch 2, I have my feelings played when I was able to launch OW2, but when it comes to an ow2 collab, they give the same problem to me. Let me play with my friends I beg you QwQ

    @frootydel @BlizzardCS I’m getting the 202 error. Been like this for 3 days too. Everyone else seems to be getting in. And it’s not my wifi. I can play other games online but I just can’t get into overwatch

  • GeraldsZach Zach Geralds (@GeraldsZach) reported

    Maybe Overwatch can fix their rank system. Just ranked in at bronze 5 after doing 25,000 damage or 40+ kills each match. I’m scared to know what a silver looks like if I’m the lowest rank in the game possible. #overwatch2

  • P0W3RH0U53 Jeremy Schroeder (@P0W3RH0U53) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Ok, I gave it a few days. Now there is a terrible latency problem. Overwatch 2 was not ready. I feel completely ****** over. The game is in a piss poor state. Just give me OW1 back, the game at least ran. This is a pathetic excuse of a game. #Overwatch2
